In RFK Jr.’s congressional hearing, Sen. Rand Paul delivered a speech about vaccine policies that has since gone viral among vaccine skeptics. In fact, dozens of people have sent us the speech, pointing to it as a perfect articulation of why they distrust vaccine recommendations.

RFK’s strong leaning toward the appeal to nature fallacy, to the point where he would rather campaign against Wi-fi than give an HIV patient medicine that will save their life, does not bode well for consistently diagnosing the root causes of America’s health problems.
